Yep as above it is the combination of exhaust gas and oil vapor that is the problem as far as blocking up the intake.

The cable was my preferred solution as not perminantly modifying a brand new under warrenty vehicle and no problem with fault codes etc.

it improves response off idle as at idle the intake is mostly full of exhaust gas with low oxygen content, so when you stand on the go pedal the computer first must close the egr....and wait for some 20.9% oxygen fresh air to reach the cylinders before it can start adding fuel.
With the cable it already closed so one less step in the equation.

Literally 10 seconds to fit or remove it.

yep, they work by convincing the engine management that the air outside is very cold and the egr turns off automatically. as cold weather is common in many places this does not cause a fault issue
